How to Apply to Carleton

You can start your application with the optional Part I, a simple form that lets us know that you plan to apply. You have three options for submitting an application, and none of them require an application fee. We don't have a preference for any one application form, so simply choose the one that works best for you!

Part I

Part I is the first (and optional) step in applying to Carleton, and it's usually available around August 1 of your senior year. Submitting Part I lets us know that you consider yourself an applicant, even before you complete the full application process. This helps us keep in touch with you and guide you through the process for submitting and tracking the remaining documents we require. Carleton waives the application fee for those who submit Part I.
